Leon, Konrath, Timmy

Stephen Tsai talks to Leon Wright-Jackson about his visit to UH.

"I appreciate the way Colt, Adam and the rest of the team made me feel welcomed," Wright-Jackson said. "They made me feel like a Warrior. You look at Hawai'i on TV and you see paradise. But when you go there, you find out how nice the people are. Everyone I met was nice. It's the people who make Hawai'i a paradise."

Wright-Jackson, who left Nebraska after his second semester, said he expects to earn an associate degree in May or July. A two-year degree is a requirement for a junior-college transfer. After that, he will have three years to play three seasons.

"I'm grateful for this second chance after leaving Nebraska," Wright-Jackson said. "Coach (Rich) Miano and Coach Jones really are doing a nice thing. I'm going to make the best of this chance.

"I like the coaching staff and the players. The players are a team. There are no individuals. They play as one."

He should be tearing it up this year for UH (see video a couple posts below. Here's the link.) Tsai also writes that linebacker Kevin Konrath of Brother Rice HS in Chicago was finally able to send in his LOI after coming back from a school mandated retreat. Welcome to Kevin and Leon!

And we have a Timmy Chang update! The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL has secured "negotiating rights" for him.

Chang is the key for the Tiger-Cats. The University of Hawaii product attended training camp with the Philadelphia Eagles, and is expected to succeed as a pocket passer.

Man, I hope Timmy gets his shot and lights it up. Same goes for Chad Owens with the Tampa Bay Bucs and Ashley Lelie with whatever team he ends up for.
